Hebe

Hi,
Hebe is now being painted... engine reconditioned... and giving some overall love and care. As some of you may know she was already registered and on the road as a seven seater. Three up front and four in the back.
For re-registration I had those fold-up benches which fit on the side over the wings. However, the ones I had (thanks to a friendly donator) were from later models (II, III or even Defender)... I just put them in loose for the inspector to see (luckily he didn't sit on them or try them out). I had to return one of them and now have one non-series I rear bench left... I do have a few different sizes of cushions... not sure which model they belonged to.
So, in order to get things back to 100% original I am looking for the Series I rear benches which were an extra/optional product (see parts book). Faithful reproductions would be welcome as well.... or even better the loose rear seats...

OK, OK... I know that the loose rear seats only went with the station wagon... but hey, it would be cool right! (and according to Vic Roads mine is now a "Wagon")
Anyone know where/who does (reproductions) rear loose seats ... or benches?
